Toreros Die Young. The Corrida in Films by Pedro Almodóvar

Pedro Almodóvar did not want to make movies about the corrida and recreate the bullfight: in two breakthrough works, 'Matador' (1986) and 'Talk to Her' (2002), he transferred the psychology of the bull-man relation to that of man-man. The authoress of the article proposed a detailed analysis of both films with the assistance of the corrida envisaged as a key, and presented extensive source material (i. a. about the famous toreador Manolete).
